Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat NF-L Antibody

Detection of Mouse and Rat NF-L by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of mouse brain (hypothalamus) and rat brain (hippocampus). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat NF-L Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2216) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF018) . A specific band was detected for NF-L at approximately 74 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.
NF-L antibody in Human Spinal Cord by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

NF-L in Human Spinal Cord.

NF-L was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human spinal cord using 25 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human NF-L Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2216) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS002) and counter-stained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the cytoplasm in motor neurons. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
NF-L antibody in Human Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

NF‑L in Human Brain.

NF-L was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (substantia nigra) using Mouse Anti-Human NF-L Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2216) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC001). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in neurons.

Background: NF-L

NF-L is a 68 kDa light chain cytoskeletal intermediate filament protein that is expressed in neurons. It associates with the 125 kDa NF-M and the 200 kDa NF-H to form neurofilaments.

Long Name

Neurofilament Protein, Light Chain

Alternate Names

CMT2E, NEFL, NF68, NFL
